QLD Continuing a commercial lease- Legal Costs

[Bronwyn Griffin]

Hi, I am relatively new to commercial leases but am just about to renew a lease for an office space (have been here three years). Our landlord's solicitor is saying that a continuation without changes will cost around $2000 and I am wanting to check if this is fairly standard as it seems a lot for essentially the same document.

Yes, that's in the ballpark. Not the cheapest I've seen, but also not the most expensive. The amount of work involved is not dissimilar to initially doing the first lease. The lease document itself is only part of the steps involved.
